Strauss’ wonderful tune that makes up the overture to the world’s favourite
operetta, Die Fledermaus. Also included in the repertoire list is Richard
Strauss’ popular Der Rosenkavalier Suite, and other dance-inspired music such as
Weber’s brilliant Invitation to the Dance, Ravel’s homage to the waltz La
valse, Sibelius’ Finland-inspired Valse Tristeand Tchaikovsky’s
poetic Eugene Onegin Waltz.

Brazil-born Mechetti

knowledge of the symphonic repertoire. He has collaborated with the Danish
Radio Orchestra, New Jersey, Seattle, Jacksonville and Utah symphonies,
Rochester and Buffalo Philharmonics, orchestras in Mexico, Spain, Brazil and
Venezuela, the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, Tokyo and Sapporo symphonies,
and the Chautauqua Festival Symphony Orchestra
